After the new design erupted into the public’s attention last weekend, there was an instant surge of interest.

The newest innovation in baseball, the bat has a seemingly inflated barrel that is thickest and heaviest where the player most frequently makes contact.

Opening weekend of the MLB season and all the buzz was about one surprising star: torpedo bats. Who knew they were made right here in the Delaware Valley?

Of note is how D-backs pitchers handled the five Yankees who are known to be using the torpedo bat: Anthony Volpe and Paul Goldschmidt, who bat righty, and Jazz Chisholm Jr., Cody Bellinger and Austin Wells, who bat lefty.

Yankees great CC Sabathia says we shouldn't be so quick to credit the Yankees early success to new torpedo bats, but rather the Brewers' subpar pitching.
